Biography

Stavanger, Norway (2001 – present)

Sirenia is a Norwegian - Spanish band, formed in Stavanger, Norway in 2001. Sirenia combines strong melodic instrumentals, keyboard synthesis, and guitar works with light, female vocals (Fabienne Gondamin, Henriette Bordvik, Monika Pedersen, and currently Ailyn), male death vocals, and a choir. Current band members are Morten Veland (programming, growling, clean vocals, guitars, bass, keyboards), Ailyn (female vocals), and Jonathan Perez (drums). Most of Sirenia’s songs are atmospheric, yet intense with melodic backgrounds and interludes. The lyrics are concerned with human existence, emotion, and mental states.

Sirenia (at first called “Masters of Sirenia”), named after the Sirens of Greek mythology, was founded in 2001 after Morten Veland left Tristania. The band failed to find a suitable singer prior to recording in France, so they conducted auditions and found Fabienne Gondamin for the recording session of At Sixes and Sevens.

On the subsequent tour and follow-up album, An Elixir for Existence, Gondamin was replaced by Henriette Bordvik.

On September 13, 2005, it was announced that Bordvik would be leaving the band, and the search for a new singer commenced. Bordvik’s replacement, Monika Pedersen of the band Sinphonia, was introduced on April 10, 2006. In the same year, Bjørnar Landa (from Artifact) joined the band as a guitarist.

Nine Destinies And A Downfall came out in February 2007. This album features more down-tuned guitars that chug and growl, with a texture not previously heard on Sirenia albums.

    Yes, I really like Ailyn's voice when it is used sparingly. The instrumental parts of the music really transcend the music generally and I love Morten's vocals, so I hope there is plenty of them.

    I hope the album version has more instrumental parts than Ailyn singing. I think she sounds great, and the song is awesome till 3:10, but after that it sounds pretty rubbish.

    If anyone needs a copy of the new single, you can drop me a PM. There's a 256kbps MP3 that's being circulated on blogs, etc., but it's a transcode and sounds pretty rubbish.

    Apparently there is an extra bonus track on Perils of The Deep Blue in Itunes called "Once a Star" O.o

    Ditt Endelikt is a beautiful song and that classic rock touch that it has makes it more special, even nostalgic.

    Ditt Endelikt needs some time to grow on you, at least in my case it did. I wasn't fond of the song in the beginning either, but the more I listen to it, the more I like it

    Seven Widows Weep is stunning, beautiful and perfect. Ditt Endelikt is horrible [2]. Agreed!
